It was ok... not as fast as my slicehost servers... but workable. They do not have a "installer" for it on their control panel, however if you tell them you want web2py while signing up, they will run the web2py installer script on file. Basically, it grabs the latest source of web2py_src.zip and installs it to a user instance of apache running that single web2py.
The nice thing is, you get everything, cron, your own python, apache, etc directory. I just was not expecting that with shared hosting! -- Thadeus On Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 8:35 PM, Richard <[email protected]> wrote: > how do you find webfaction speed?
